City Oks Feasibility Study For New Exposition Center

January 21, 2000

WOODSTOCK — The City Council unanimously OKd paying Minneapolis-based Conventions, Sports & Leisure International up to $24,000 to study the feasibility of locating an exhibition/exposition center in the city.

The study would focus on financial operations, economic and fiscal impact and funding alternatives.

Although voting with the majority Tuesday, Councilman Brian Sager expressed reservations. He said he considered the proposal "of marginal value to the city."

"I recognize the need for information. . .," Sager said. "I will support the motion (to approve the study) but I do so with incredible reservations."
